rag quilt

 

Making a rag quilt is a nice way to quilt because you quilt as you go.  As you make the packets for each square you are done with the quilting.  But that is when the work starts and all the clipping of each seam.  You must clip every quarter inch so when it is washed you will have a nice rag effect.  But don't do this in your home washer.  Always do this in a commercial washer and dryer as the amount of lint that comes off a quilt this size is enormous.  This quilt is for my daughter-in-law's sister.  Both of her children have a quilt made by Jax's grandma.
